    Hi there!

    When using the Gateway theme, you can use My Site > Customize > Content Options to check (or uncheck) the box to display a date on your posts.

    Adding the time would mean changing the date format of your posts – that’s something you can do in your site’s WP Admin dashboard.

    – visit your site, adding /wp-admin to the end of the address, like this:
    https://typedthoughtssb.wordpress.com/wp-admin
    – On the left, select Settings
    – In the option for Date Format choose Custom

    Date/time formats use a special coding format. In your custom date format, enter the following:
    F j, Y g:i a

    That combines the date with the time, so whenever the date is displayed, the time will also be included.

    Don’t forget to save your changes!

    A note for others reading this – some themes have specific date formats that can’t be changed – if you edit the setting I’ve just described and nothing happens, it probably means your theme’s date format isn’t editable. This is most common on themes that have the date inside a small area like a tab :)
